NoticeWhen upgrading and a CDP Server is registered to a DCC Server, the DCC Server MUST be upgraded prior to any CDP Servers being upgraded. In other words, customers using DCC should ALWAYS upgrade DCC before upgrading any CDP Servers.

Upgrading from CDP 3.0 versions to 4.0 is seamless and fast. Download the latest 4.0 installation package for your operating system, and your CDP installation will be automatically upgraded.

NEW FEATURES & IMPROVEMENTS IN THIS RELEASE

Database Add-On

Protecting SQL Server

CDP 4.0.0 improves MS SQL Server backup and restore functions. The MySQL Add-on is now known as the Databases Add-on and enables features of MS SQL Server and MySQL for the Agent it is applied to.

Restoring a MySQL Database to an Alternate Database Name

MySQL InnoDB File Per Table Restore

MySQL restores will no longer dump temporary instance logs to the CDP Server. Before it was fixed, this problem could cause excessive delays on large installations using the InnoDB file_per_table option, unless there was an error when starting the instance. See MySQL InnoDB File Per Table Restore.

Localization

Japanese and Spanish User Interface Available in CDP Server

The CDP Server user interface may now be customized to display in Japanese or Spanish in addition to English. See:

Time Zone Configuration

Data Center Console

Editing Policies in Data Center Console

You can edit the same Policy fields in Data Center Console as in the Enterprise Edition User Interface. You can browse files on the Agent to select for excludes, configure the database and Control Panel instances, and test instance connections. See Editing Policies in Data Center Console.

Run Policy and Re-Run Task Added to the CDP Server SOAP API

Improved Efficiency and Interface

Canceling All Running and Queued Tasks

The ability to cancel all running and queued tasks in one operation has been added to Task History in order to assist administrators needing to perform server maintenance or upgrade their CDP Server. See Canceling All Running and Queued Tasks.

Dashboard Improvements

New widgets are located on the Dashboard: the Running Tasks Widget, Queued Tasks Widget, Improvements to Disk Usage Widget, and Throughput Gauges. See:

Disabling Users - Additional Options

The ability to disable users has been added to CDP Server and DCC. When disabling Power Users, additional options are presented to allow the administrator to also disable sub-users administered by the Power User, and to disable any policies associated with Power User-owned Agents. See:

User Interface and Functionality

Policy alerts published on the CDP Server Dashboard after successful replication now work correctly. Policies will no longer go into an Alert status if the not-backed-up Devices are disabled in the associated Disk Safe.
